THE EXPLOITATION OF THE VICTIM OF CRIME IS A CALCULUS BY A TYPE OF VIRGINIA POLITICIAN By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
There is a branch of Law, defined as EQUITY. It represents the, after all the shenanigans of the other branches of law have failed for whatever reason, let's acknowledge that we are Humans and deal with each other fairly, on the what's right terms. This recognition of "the what's right terms", is the glue of humanness, which is what remains, even during the most dehumanizing and barbaric mete. Then the nemesis of that glue is its fear. Which we experience in all sorts of forms, that can be summarized, simply as, ignorance. I have started like this, to establish the simple proposition that, no matter what, we are and remain human. Even in the honesty of War, combatants respect and recognize their humanness, because the failure to do such is the folly of underestimation. The existence and acceptance of the legal principle or Law of Equity, isn't a formulation of some sort of higher aspiration besides the simple visceral recognition that, even in the process of braining each other we have to catch our breath, which then allows that, why are we even doing this, which is when we then start to respect, the condition and circumstance of, Peace. Now with all due respect to Clausewitz and his insight that "war is politics by other means", not everyone is honest, meaning smart enough to give both euphemisms their due respect. So we have Officers of War who underestimate their opponents, likewise Politicians who underestimate their polity with the virtual and consequential undermining of the Social Contract with the disrespect of exploitive and manipulative calculations of what schemes will ensure the materialization of that other insight, the Machiavellian " ends justifies the means ", of their acquisitioned self-interest and of the Virginia Politicians' many means ,that of exploiting the victim of crime, is pretty much unassailable and irreproachable, due to fear. Because who amongst the People will dare challenge the idea that speaking up for the concerns of the victims of crime isn't equitable and just?. Which brings me to that fly in the ointment of understanding and knowing. If we accept the fact of the Law of Equity, then it also goes to say we accept the preeminence of Natural Law, or that relationship that doesn't require or is at the behest of Social Contract. In other words it is the existence without political-economy, if we accept that political-economy is the economic activity of a multiplicity of relationships, interactions and intersections and we do. So the victim of crime existing in a social contract under terms of its political-economy surrenders their Natural Law claim to that of the other types of Law, which exist as a surrogate Natural Law. What I'm saying is when a person suffers harm, under natural law or in the absence of a social contract, the repair of the harm rest or relies on and upon the victim or family's ability. But as soon as a Social Contract emerges the responsibility and obligation of repairing the harm is then assumed by the collective viz The Commonwealth of Virginia or The People. The process and law is automatically exacted in the interest of the harmed or victim of the deed and the Virginia politician understands this, because this is Social Contract 101.Yet what we see is a type of Virginia politician lying about this and deceiving the harmed

JUSTICE AND THE VIRGINIA PRISONER By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Were the terms of our National and Commonwealth of Virginia or State Social Contract honest, in other words, in practical pursuit of the advancement, progress and development of "The People", which is what Madison's "more perfect union" anticipated, there would be a base and fundamental cognition and understanding of JUSTICE. But on the contrary and because of the dishonest terms of The Social Contract, as such experienced as antagonisms, we have a negation of Madisonianism. So instead of the advancement and progressive development of The People, meaning permitting and enabling that positive perception necessary for the materializations of that aspirational engine, our ancestors consistently preambled all our Declarations with, what we instead have is a reactionary and nihilistic view inanely attacking, what you ask? Well the answer is simple and straight forward, that base and fundamental cognition and understanding of JUSTICE.I BEGIN: JUSTICE is commonly defined as, THE FAIR AND PROPER ADMINISTRATION OF LAWS, with a number of structures. So for example there are for starters,[commutative justice, distributive justice, personal justice, popular justice, positive justice, social justice, substantial justice] and the thing is we shouldn't have to be lawyers or Law Professors to have a basic and fundamental understanding of JUSTICE because it is the engine and driver of the WHY THIS AND THE WHY THAT of The Social Contract. Just as the term "functional literacy", indicates that fundamental knowledge and understanding required of and demanded of people at various levels interacting, whether personally or professionally. So the point is if we are to get the full benefit of The Social Contract with that perpetual reform, then just as WE ALL GET THE AND GOD SAID..... ,then we should also get WHAT IS JUSTICE, because it is the only terms of our existence and Human Condition. In the absence of "understanding", the insidious motive emerges, pushing whatever agenda suits its fancy which is reactionary and always at odds with something and that something naturally is an expansive or progressive enabler, in accord with Life. As this relates to the Virginia prisoner, its simple "reform". The conditions and circumstances of confinement of the Virginia prisoner and imprisonment, exist in a state necessitating reform and are at odds with the most basic and minimal understanding of JUSTICE, as the fair administration of laws. The People of Virginia in whose name the maladministration of JUSTICE occurs seem not to have that functional literate idea that travesties are being done in their name along with the fraud of misusing resources. So for example any push and work of reforming Virginia's imprisonment schemes and any hint of holding to account the Virginia prison officials' deeds and practices unleashes idiotic invectives of "soft on crime", or the argument concocted under that proverbial rock," prison isn't a holiday inn" and all of these arguments are egged on, catalyzed by Virginia Politicians and Legislators who are responsible for and to, that fair administration of laws, because they enact it. There is that group of the People of Virginia who are doubly victimized by the condition of that lack of understanding of JUSTICE, whom are the 'victims of crime' and their victimization is even more insidious because, it is exploitive. If the harm of the criminal act has any number of dysfunctional reasons, then the exploitation, which is premeditatedly executed by a Virginia politician, specifically and particularly, The Virginia Republican is diabolical.

DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER III By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only


In the 2010 Ridley Scott movie depiction of ROBIN HOOD of English tales, RICHARD THE LIONHEART, the English King is told by Russell Crowe, the yet to be Robin Hood, that God wouldn't find favor in his deeds during one of the CRUSADES against Muslims and Russell Crowe's character exact words were "Godless", that The King Richard's deeds were Godless. Needless I add the King didn't take to kindly to it, even though he demanded honest council from Russell Crowe's character, which he subsequently placed Russell Crowe in the stockades for his "honesty".The point is Richard The English King expected and assumed that slaughtering Muslims was a Godly deed, well "History" in the form of Russell Crowe's character, who participated in the slaughter as a soldier following orders disabused Richard The Lionheart of those assumptions which as metaphor fits and is apt in characterizing and defining the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official in the duty of imprisoning Virginia citizens processed under law. Despite the fact that there is a universe of calculations and interests animating and directing the Virginia prison officials' professional behavior and attitudes in the work of administering Virginia prisons, what we know, observe and experience is the unequivocal and unambiguous fact of DEHUMANIZATION. If no human is all knowing, all seeing and omniscient then we can confidently state and declare that dehumanization of the prisoner as a pursued practice result, is just that, another petty and sordid example of gratuitous cruelty of a sadistic psychology. In the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit case, WILLIAMS v. BENJAMIN 77 F.3d. 756(1996)(which Virginia and the Virginia Department of Corrections are under its jurisdiction) gave us this ruling, citing this UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT case, WILKERSON v. UTAH 99 U.S. 130 (1878) "Deference to Prison Officials does not give them Constitutional license to torture inmates", which in plain speak is mistreat, abuse and all the synonyms of dehumanization. The UTAH case which the 4th Circuit based aspects of its decision in the WIILLIAMS case on was decided in 1878 !!!, my exclamations are not to be mistaken with surprise that THE SUPREME COURT of THE UNITED STATES was that enlightened in the 19th century, despite the DRED SCOTT decision in its history. What my exclamations underscore is the fact that Prison Officials, not only in Virginia but Nationally have understood that law prohibits and precludes them from dehumanizing THE PRISONER and the various legislators, Attorney Generals, Politicians have abrogated their mandate of pursing the holistic aspiration of each of their jurisdictional Social Contract. Likewise our Activist and Advocates who speak for Prisoners and the obligations of lawful conditions of confinement haven't been throwing it in the faces of the Prison Official that they have no Social Contractual standing to dehumanize the prisoner in the name of the People notwithstanding whatever decrepit and laughable sophistry they along with their allies dredge up as basis. Instead what we experience is the prison official behaving extra-judicially in that professionally ad hoc manner, above the law and all aspects of Society and the Social Contract turning a feckless and craven blind eye to it as if there isnt the recognition that the Prison Official actions are undermining and destroying the very terms of the Social Contract and its Due Process of Law.

DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER II By William Thorpe

credit kgtoh

It isn't that the dehumanization of the Prisoner and specifically for this work, the Virginia prisoner, is the exception on the contrary it is the rule and what focusing on the dehumanization of the Prisoner allows us, is an entry point into the fact that our National Social Contract itself is one continuum, an unresolved one at that of, Dehumanization. Notwithstanding the fact that, the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of The United States, purport the affirmation of Human Life and Being, its work then begins its negation and deconstruction. In the sense that, it begun to qualify and conditionalize the nature of Social Contract terms or in other words to paraphrase Napoleon of George Orwell's Animal Farm, some animals are more equal or better than others. My concerns are not in redeeming those initial and progenitive antagonisms and hypocrisies, that is work of and for the Madisonian "more perfect union", what I labor at is in defining, the fraud perpetrated on the People of Virginia by the Virginia prison official borne on the intellectual-liberalism of the Dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner. Fraud and its practice is one that is easy and clear forward to grasp and understand and BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY 2d EDITION defines, Fraud as 1.A knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment. And if our Virginia politicians and legislators, whom "You the People", have tasked with the privilege of ensuring that the Virginia prison official administered and executed their duties under law were not in their own light fraudulent and would exercise their oversight authority and obligations," You the People" could then determine whether you accept the dehumanization of your imprisoned sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, wives, husbands, loved ones and friends as appropriate conditions of confinement and circumstances of imprisonment. Which in turn would then mean that "You the People", wouldn't have any issues with and problems, when you are then subjected to Dehumanization by Virginia's Government, which by the way already happens. Insidiousness, which according to the current professional behavior of the Virginia prison official is a primary requirement to employment, corrodes at and in effect sabotages the very Compact nature, state and terms of the Peoples Commonwealth because it is a dynamic of fraud, concealing from the People of Virginia who are detrimentally impacted by its malfeasant machinations the necessary and formal understanding of what constitutes the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official. Yes we are sporadically given that perfunctory media accounts of Virginia prison official malbehavior and the horrific deed, but it is presented with that perfidious qualifier, such and such "convicted felon", then the claim that Virginia prison officials committed such and such, again conditionalizing the official misdeed on the prison official's terms as opposed to the terms of the act or deed. In other words despite the purported democratization of the rule of law and process, yet true to the "Animal Farm" dynamic and in contradiction of John Adams instruction, that and I paraphrase, we are a nation of laws and not men, the Virginia prison official's actions and misdeeds are presented to the People of Virginia, not as violations of law, but acts of men in uniform. Uniforms, which Bob Marley presciently in his seminal song, Burnin' And Lootin' gave us in verse as, "Uniforms of Brutality ".The point: if imprisonment is a data point in the process and administration of law and if law is theoretically the guardian of humanness, then imprisonment cannot dehumanize.

THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER IS ALSO AN ATTACK ON THE NON-IMPRISONED VIRGINIA PEOPLE By William Thorpe



I BEGIN: When there isn't any way and guide forward, when despite, self-delusional myths of existence, collective narcissism and its antagonistic pathology on the body politic, the default reaction, and this holds true across the breadth and depth of our Human Condition, is to dehumanize, to see something other in that other human, whose existence is what defacto defines the integrity of self-existence. What concerns me, because I'm a prisoner under Virginia's jurisdiction, is the unoriginal logic of dehumanization plyed by the Commonwealth of Virginia in its detention schemes. What also concerns me is how The Virginian, or People of Virginia ignore and are seemingly oblivious to the fact that if they are unseen, unheard and dismissed by each other in all forms and levels of interaction, it firstly is a result of their winking and nodding to the dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner. Let me qualify what in saying, nothing I'm saying is new, if there is any novelty to this work, its that of being a reminder, that attention to and is required of unforeseen consequences, when due to the myriad obligations and distractions of social interactions, relations and intersections we become that adage which our Vietnamese brothers and sisters have given us, "be mindful that when you go to slay the dragon you don't become it" or in this context accepting the dehumanization of humans who are imprisoned is in turn self-dehumanizing. Society i.e. the Commonwealth of Virginia are not built or constructed on the distortion of short sightedness, which is the operative of a type of world view, which the Virginia prison official and their allies are perennially afflicted with. Short sightedness whether in the Policy realm of Government and governance or in the world view of the individual Virginian, is always self-contradictory, because the assumption is its a pursuit of self-interest, which idealistically it is, but its also at the expense of that other adage, "the devil is in the details ". So for example the Virginia prison official wants to be respected, acknowledged and recognized as first and foremost, a Professional, secondly, a full and all around developed Human and citizen of Virginia and all of this materialized upon the job of a Prison Official. However, the reality is the Virginia prison official isn't respected, acknowledged or recognized by the People of Virginia save for allies who are also just as reviled, because what the People of Virginia recognize in the prison official is a corrupt entity who breaks and violates the law in the treatment of prisoners under their care and authority. It isn't that the People of Virginia are at odds with accountability and its various forms according to their social contract, which includes imprisonment, but they expect it is done under law and the uncompromising recognition of humanness. Here is an anecdote that was reported by one of the media in Newport News, Virginia, the occasion was how the Commonwealth of Virginia in the form of its Koncentration Kamp Red Onion State Prison informed a Mother of the death of her just turned 21 imprisoned son, who allegedly committed suicide, after the Mother had repeatedly called the prison, with none of the officials with the authority responding to her, finally a Nurse dismissed the death.
